Washington General. Tall and polished, Bus Wheeler, 59, is a Washingtonian by birth and a Washington general by training. Unlike his five predecessors and many other prominent alumni of the Joint Chiefs, Wheeler has always been the planner and strategist, never a war hero or even much of a combat vet eran. He had only five months of frontline infantry service during World War II, and even that was a staff assignment; during the Korean War, he was assigned to the Pentagon and Trieste. Though all too clearly no Patton type, he is known nonetheless as the most gifted tank...
...Homer L. Carson knows that there is more to the equations than an occasional misfiring joke. Her son, at 41, is an institution, a cup of bedtime coffee with none of the caffeine removed. "We're more effective than birth control pills," says Carson, improvising a bit on his own slightly leering line that people watch him "through their toes"-that is, lying down in bed. On good nights in midwinter, there might be as many as 10 million viewers, according to Nielsen. But if there are fewer on other nights, Carson at least gets a crack...
Growing Pains. Last week, after six long years of political and technological birth pangs, the revolutionary 1,650-m.p.h. whiz-bang won its first formal production contract.

...even put over Prohibition as a "war measure." In World War II, the Supreme Court itself approved the most drastic invasion of constitutional rights in history-the 1942 "relocation" in semi-concentration camps of 112,000 West Coast Japanese, two-thirds of them U.S. citizens by birth...
...paints, she dances like a dream. She even writes poetry." Linda, now 42, considers herself not a pushy stage mother but a servant of destiny. Her astrologer, she explains, prophesied that Romina would have "all and everything Napoleon had without the downfall. I was told this at her birth, so I was able to prepare." But Hollywood was not prepared for Linda's big Power play. During the past month, she has waged a selling campaign that ought to win an Oscar for Haughty Hokum and High Hucksterism. "Before Romina is 21," declares Linda, "she'll be making...
